== Happy New Year! == |
|||
Hi BanyanTree, I hope you're keeping well. So, another year rolls by, and one new FA to my roster during 2013 ([[Paul Kagame]]). At this cracking rate I might have ten by 2020! |
|||
I'm in to the deep end now, and priorities for this year include [[Rwandan Revolution]], [[Rwandan Civil War]] and [[Rwandan Genocide]], topics I know you contributed a lot to back in the day. |
|||
All the best, and hope to see you around the Wiki, as and when time permits..... — [[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] ([[User talk:Amakuru|talk]]) 00:38, 7 January 2014 (UTC) |
|||
:Happy New Year! |
|||
:Good job on [[Rwandan Revolution]]! (Clearly I haven't been paying attention.) I must have spent three years telling myself I would throw up an article on that topic. |
|||
:Hopefully I'll find myself some new books and be inspired to help out. [[Rwandan Genocide]] kicked my ass back in the day, and I may be too emotionally traumatized for that one though. ;) - [[User:BanyanTree|Banyan]][[User talk:BanyanTree|Tree]] 18:50, 7 January 2014 (UTC) |
|||
::Hi, that would be great if you have some time to get involved! I've got a bit sidetracked from the Revolution article in the past couple of weeks, partly because the best work I've found on Google regarding the subject ([http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=DgXoAAAAIAAJ Church and Revolution in Rwanda]) has interesting pages missing from the preview and I'd quite like to head over to the British Library when I have time to look things up properly. I've also spent some time assessing missing articles for [[WP:RWANDA]] and compiling a list of all those, ordered by page views last year, which you can see at [[WP:WikiProject Rwanda/Article Views 2013]]. It makes for some interesting reading, but also confirms what one might have suspected, that the most visible article in the project (with the exception of things not really much about Rwanda, such as English language, French language and Nile) is the [[Rwandan Genocide]] article, followed by [[Rwanda]] itself. |
|||
::I'm interested to know what bit your ass regarding the genocide article? I must have missed that one. I guess it will possibly be the hardest of the articles to edit and maintain a neutral tone, given that there may be more opinionated people floating around than for other Rwanda topics! Cheers — [[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] ([[User talk:Amakuru|talk]]) 08:59, 24 January 2014 (UTC) |
|||
:::Wow, I actually saw a message on my talk the day it was posted! Heh. |
|||
:::I made [[Talk:Rwandan Genocide/Archive 1#The pre-colonial history section|a comment back in 2006]] (God, that makes me feel old) that I still think holds largely true: |
|||
::::"I also have to say that there are some serious issues with this article - the structure is horrible and there is a complete lack of citations. If you look at how an an ideal article would be designed - context leading into well referenced detail on the actual events of the Genocide in Rwanda with a section on the effects - this article falls far short. There may be partially the result of nobody wanting to tackle integrating the subpages PZFUN translated over from FR but mostly it's just the lack of some knowledgeable, skeptical and judicious editing. " |
|||
:::In particular, the core of the description lies within one screen's worth of content under the Genocide section. About 95% of the article is either topics of interest to foreigners, esp foreign involvement and the role of international courts, or prelude or aftermath. Part of this was a result of the unwieldy content dump when PZFUN translated content from fr.wiki to create the articles [[Initial events of the Rwandan Genocide]], [[Analysis of the causes of the Rwandan Genocide]], etc, etc, so the [[Rwandan Genocide]] article was written around the existence of those sub-articles, which have since largely been merged into other content . |
|||
:::Back when I thought that I would tackle [[Rwandan Genocide]], I tried to build a foundation by improving/starting/breaking out Initial events, [[Assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana and Cyprien Ntaryamira]], [[Origins of Tutsi and Hutu]] (an article I'm still not sure I was correct to break out), and [[Rwandan Civil War]]. My ideal structure would be 50-70% article focusing on the actual genocide with section on the runup and aftermath pointing to large sub-articles. But I was already beginning to burn out, and frankly didn't have the energy to negotiate my way through a large restructuring of [[Rwandan Genocide]], esp after I lost the battle to keep [[Darfur conflict]] from being overrun by university students with lots of passion and limited knowledge; and Ezeu and I, the two editors specializing in Ugandan topics, were [[Talk:Lord's Resistance Army#Merger proposal|outvoted]] in a structure proposal for [[Lord's Resistance Army]], the article I joined the wiki to improve. Both those articles are in pathetic states at the moment. I actively avoid the LRA article at this point, because it makes me angry. Maybe I should avoid writing about ongoing conflicts. |
|||
:::Wow, this turned into a sad rant. The short story about my involvement in the [[Rwandan Genocide]] article is that my energy level/time wasn't nearly sufficient for my ambitions. However, I still go through periods of productive editing, and I'll try to direct those your way. - [[User:BanyanTree|Banyan]][[User talk:BanyanTree|Tree]] 20:00, 24 January 2014 (UTC) |
|||
::::No problems on the sad rant... it's very interesting to get a perspective on what was going on with these things back then. I think I vaguely considered getting involved with Rwandan Genocide in 2006-07 but I still didn't quite have the courage to take on the big kahuna articles at that time. Interestingly, the comment you link to above was in response to the point I made about the excessive pre-colonial section, back when I was still SteveRwanda. It made me slightly worried at first because I've just recently inserted five new sections on the pre-colonial and colonial eras. Looking back, though, that part was absurdly long and rambling when in 2006 so hopefully no harm done. And my plan is certainly to have proportionally most of the material on the Genocide itself, with probably a larger section than now on the RPF campaign (which is slightly separate but crucial to the narrative nonetheless). If all that makes the thing too long then I'll look into some more splitting. Whenever all this takes place... if it's in reaonable shape by the end of this year then I'll be content enough! |
|||
::::It remains to be seen how much resistance I'll get from university students and the like; I can see how frustrating that must have been for you now. For whatever reason I was mostly free of that with [[Rwanda]] and [[Paul Kagame]]. I did have a thought that maybe that phenomenon is less prevalent now than it was around 2007 - the editor numbers have dropped since then, but I'm thinking there's a higher proportion of serious long term editors than there were. And I think the overall quality of Wikipedia is much higher than it was in 2006. |
|||
::::So, hopefully it will go OK, and I look forward to hearing from you again as and when you have time to do some editing! — [[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] ([[User talk:Amakuru|talk]]) 22:20, 24 January 2014 (UTC) |

==Bukwa and Bukwa District== |
|||
Hi [[BanyanTree]], I need help. I am going back to the articles I created in the past, improving the formatting of the references to conform o the recommended format on the English Wikipedia. |
|||
While working on [[Bukwa District]], it became clear that the correct spelling is [[Bukwo District]]; the Uganda Parliament website and USAID both referrer to it in that mane. I now need Administrator assistance to move [[Bukwa District]] to [[Bukwo District]] and [[Bukwa]] to [[Bukwo]]. Once those moves are made, I will go back and continue editing the articles in their new locations. Thank you. [[User:Fsmatovu|Fsmatovu]] ([[User talk:Fsmatovu|talk]]) 17:48, 19 May 2014 (UTC) |
|||
:Hi Fsmatovu, This is done. Registered users used to able to move the page over a redirect with only one revision in the history.

== Proposed deletion of Ranu == |
|||
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]] |
|||
The article [[Ranu]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]  because of the following concern: |
|||
:'''Fails [[WP:GNG]]. Just another piece of [[WP:PUFFERY]] about an Indian name.''' |
|||
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]]. |
|||
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Ranu|the article's talk page]]. |
|||
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 23:21, 22 November 2014 (UTC) |

== Frog Kick == |
|||
Hi BanyanTree, |
|||
There is a difference between "taking ownership" of an article, and keeping it one one's watchlist. I claim no ownership of any article on Wikipedia, but do make a habit of trying to improve any diving articles. This includes requesting citations for claims which are outside my personal experience or for which I cannot find references myself. I challenged your unreferenced statement that once learned, the frog kick typically becomes the standard kick, because it conflicts with my experience, and I could not remember or find a reasonably reliable corroborating reference. If you can provide such, please feel welcome to cite it in the article, as it would be valuable knowledge to me as well as the rest of the world. If not, you may delete the challenged statement, but the rest of the article is not yours to revert without a valid reason, as the information added to Wikipedia is published under a free license and unexplained deletion or reversion of valid content may be viewed as vandalism, which I do not believe was your intention. There is no great rush, If you are aware of a reference but do not currently have access to it, leave a note on the talk page and maybe someone else will be able to get hold of a copy and provide the citation.

== Extended confirmed protection == |
|||
{{ivmbox|1=Hello, BanyanTree. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. |
|||
[[WP:BLUELOCK|Extended confirmed protection]] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|this community discussion]] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. |
|||
In July and August 2016, [[WP:ECP2016|a request for comment]] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions: |
|||
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort. |
|||
* '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard. |
|||
Please review [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection|the protection policy]] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' [[Wikipedia:Administrators/Message list|mass message list]]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}} |

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins == |
|||
Hello, |
|||
Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|TOTP]] based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your [[Special:Preferences|preferences page]] in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the [[Help:Two-factor authentication|developing help page]] for additional information. '''Important''': Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Two-Factor_Authentication_now_available_for_admins|thread on the administrators' noticeboard]].

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers == |
|||
Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}. |
|||
A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''New Page Reviewer''']], has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|PERM]]. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right. |
|||
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|here]] but very often a friendly custom message works best. |
|||
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at [[WT:NPR]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC) |

==Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity== |
|||
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] |
|||
Following a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/suspend sysop rights of inactive admins|community discussion]] in June 2011, consensus was reached to [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year]] (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]] and the userright will be restored per the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Resysopping|re-sysopping process]] (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at [[WP:RFA]]. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. <!-- Template:Inactive admin -->[[User:MadmanBot|MadmanBot]] ([[User talk:MadmanBot|talk]]) 01:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC) |

Looks like you really have disappeared this time, no edits for a year and a half and your bit has expired. If you are reading this, however, may I wish you a very happy and prosperous 2018 and hope we may see you around here again at some point in the future! Thanks — [[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] ([[User talk:Amakuru|talk]]) 10:58, 25 January 2018 (UTC) |

:Happy New Year Amakuru. By chance, I logged in for the first time in many months recently (finding that I am no longer an admin) so saw that I had a message when I was looking up an article. Best to you and your family. - [[User:BanyanTree|Banyan]][[User talk:BanyanTree|Tree]] 18:12, 26 January 2018 (UTC) |
